Really wonderful place to stay in Okere Falls. A very short walk to the wonderful Okere Falls Store, but just far enough from the road that it is super quiet and secluded feeling. (This is a very nice base point for white water paddlers)

Loved Guest Space

KimRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Phil's place had all we needed for our stay. We were here due to a big event taking place around the area of Neil Hunt Park and Redwood Forest, so it was a great location for us since we could easily walk back and forth between the event and our accommodation. Phil was really nice and accommodating, and picked us up in the city center when we arrived by bus. Initially we had misunderstood the amenities listed and thought that there was pots, pans and a stove top in the kitchenette, but Phil was kind enough to offer us to use his kitchen (although we never needed it because the weekend was so busy that we never had time to cook). We wished we could've stayed longer because this AirBnB was really nice! So cozy, Phil was so friendly and kind and the area was very peaceful and relaxing - something we would've wanted to take advantage of more. Really recommend staying here!
